Man what a week. I got out to the field so that is good. When I flew in we were hit by a huge rain storm and it rained the whole day at transfer. My new comp is elder dearden and he is the zone leader for my zone so not sure how I feel about being put with a zone leader for my first comp but it's ok. I'm in a little town called Conway it is about 30 minutes from myrtle beach which is cool. 

We have been teach John and he came to church yesterday with us. AND we have a lesson with him today. Brother king in my ward is giving us so many people to teach and talk go that us sooo cool. He own a plumbing shop so we meet there with him and people he wants us to teach. 

I'll be in Conway for about 4 months so that is pretty awesome. Hopefully it doesn't rain any more the rain up here is hot and gross and I'm sweating just think about it. The humidity is no joke either hahha.

Love you all have a safe week.

CONWAY SC

Conway is a city in Horry County, South Carolina, United States. The population was 17,103 at the 2010 census,^[7] and estimated at 25,956 in 2019.^[8] It is the county seat of Horry County^[9] and is part of the Myrtle Beach metropolitan area. It is the home of Coastal Carolina University.

Numerous buildings and structures located in Conway are on the National Register of Historic Places. Among these is the City Hall building, designed by Robert Mills, architect of the Washington Monument. Since the completion of the Main Street USA project in the 1980s, Conway's downtown has been revitalized with shops and bistros. Highlighting the renovation of the downtown area is the Riverwalk, an area of restaurants which follows a stretch of the Waccamaw River that winds through Conway.^{[citation needed]}

Conway is one of the oldest towns in South Carolina. Early English colonists named the village "Kings Town" but soon changed it to "Kingston". The town was founded in 1732 as part of Royal Governor Robert Johnson's Township Scheme. It was laid out on a bluff overlooking the Waccamaw River in what is now known as Horry County.

Many area residents fought in the American Revolution, and small engagements were fought near Kingston at Bear Bluff and at Black Lake. Francis Marion, who was known as the "Swamp Fox", had an encampment near Kingston just across the Waccamaw River.^{[citation needed]} The areas of Kingston and Charles Town, S.C.^[10] were communities with a higher population of Tories than many other Colonial American towns during the revolutionary war era. A Tory was a colonist who supported the government during that period.

After the war, patriotic citizens wanted to discard the name that honored Great Britain's King George II. The county's name was changed to Horry (pronounced "oh-ree") in honor of General Peter Horry in 1801, and a courthouse was established in Kingston. "Kingston" was later changed to "Conwayborough", for General Robert Conway. In 1883, the General Assembly changed the name to "Conway".
